Congregation Emanu El in Redlands will continue the celebration of the opening and consecration of their new synagogue with a cantors' concert at 7 p.m. Jan. 27.

The congregation's cantor, Jennifer Bern-Vogel, will host the event, which will feature cantors from around Southern California and the world debut of a sacred composition by Jonathan Comisar for the new synagogue.

Bern-Vogel said she is honored to have so many colleagues and friends from Los Angeles, Orange County and the Inland Empire join her congregation in the celebratory concert.

The musical selections will reflect the congregation's history, beginning with choral music of the past and moving on to contemporary works.

Jerry Ripley, the congregation's organist and music director, together with guest conductors will direct Congregation Emanu El's choir and the guest cantors.

The concert is open to the public.

Congregation Emanu El will also hold a community open house this spring to introduce the public to the new synagogue, at 1495 Ford St., at the corner of Ford and Patricia streets, just south of the 10 Freeway in Redlands.
